Heart-To-Heart English

Want to connect with people and achieve your goals,

be it advancing your career 

or fitting into an English-speaking community?


Then you’re in the right place.


I'm Anastasia, 

and I help driven, curious and patient learners 

express themselves with confidence,

better their social skills and 

have life-changing conversations.

About me

As a non-native speaker and a lifelong language learner, I know exactly what difficulties you’re facing. 


I’m myself no stranger to getting tongued-tied and finding native speakers impossible to understand. 


I’ve been there, I’ve learned a lot from the experience and I’d love to help you communicate in English with confidence, ease and joy.  


As a person whose mother tongue is Russian and who holds a Cambridge CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English), 

I have the best of what a native and a non-native teacher can offer: an expert knowledge of English as well as an understanding of how it works.  


Living in the UK, I’m immersed in the language 24/7 and teach my students real-life English as it is spoken by Britons.  


When not teaching, you can find me making art, reading, or on my yoga mat trying to get into a headstand :)   


NB: You can get to know me better by listening to this episode of my dear fellow-teacher Catherine Angus's podcast Hear You Go here

teaching approach that works

What you really need to know to effectively communicate in English

Save time and money by learning how to effectively learn on your own

What you really need to know to effectively communicate in English

I go way beyond vocabulary and grammar and help my students become aware of the rarely taught conventions of real-life English allowing them to really speak the same language natives do.

No failure, only experience

Save time and money by learning how to effectively learn on your own

What you really need to know to effectively communicate in English

Follow the less travelled path of language exploration. It’s paved with trial and error, but instead of shying away from trying things out for fear of getting it wrong, my students come to see mistakes as learning opportunities and embrace them as such.

Great results require great effort, patience and, above all, consistency. That's why most learners never get beyond the intermediate level at best. 

I'll help you form good learning habits and equip you with the skills that will free you from the need to rely on tutors. It's not easy but is 100% worth doing.  

Is heart-to-heart english a good fit for me?

Yes, it probably is if:


  • you are at upper-intermediate (B2) level or above (if not sure, consider testing your English here)


  • you are intrinsically motivated by curiosity, desire to grow and love for languages rather than external factors such as the need to pass an English exam or to please your boss
     
  • you are looking for a safe non-judgmental space to practise your English
     
  • you are willing to take an active part in the process and agree that you learn by doing, not by being taught
     
  • you are looking to become an independent learner
     
  • you are open to new ways of learning foreign languages and prepared to take risks


  • you are looking to fit into an English-speaking community
     

I'm afraid it's not if:

 

  • your level of English competence is A1-B1 (if not sure, check it here)
     
  • you believe that your learning and progress are the teacher’s responsibility
     
  • you believe the way you’ve always been learning English is the best one and aren’t ready to try out new approaches to studying


  • you don't have time or don't think you need to do any study between classes 


  • you're not prepared to take an active part in the process

what my students say

Before I started taking lessons with Anastasia, I made quite a few attempts to self-study English. What I learned that way together with an online translator is just about enough to survive a holiday abroad. However, English wasn’t part of my daily life.


Anastasia’s classes and the learning techniques she’s taught me are gradually changing that. It’s a long journey but I’m really enjoying it and feeling more and more confident.  


In Anastasia’s classes you get immersed in the language, the real English natives speak. You learn English as you speak it, just like you learn your native language as a child.


Anastasia also creates a very supportive and friendly atmosphere in class, so you feel encouraged to express yourself without worrying about mistakes (which she corrects in a very delicate manner). It’s amazing!


Thank you so much, Anastasia, for this opportunity to study with you. 


I’m looking forward to more classes with you!


Natasha S.

Anastasia's teaching style creates a safe and relaxed atmosphere in class, which is particularly important to me in these crazy times we're living in. 


She's helped me overcome my fear of making mistakes. There's now her voice in my head constantly reminding me that mistakes are ok and not to be scared of, that the more you practise the better you get, and that when you're learning a language it's as unrealistic to expect immediate perfection from yourself as from a child that's learning to walk.


Each time I wish the class would last forever.
